Apparently the lady was 4ft 11in and if she was any taller she would have been killed by the steel

Not good news but glad she is ok

Why is the car a right off?
Cant the roof, winscreen, and bonnet be repaired? Unless the engine bay has been crushed I guess?

There was a thread about it on mk5golfgti.co.uk. Apparently they were going to reshell it but the owner kicked up sh!t so was made into a total loss claim.

Don't blame them, would you want a car that back that has been taken to bits and rebuilt back from a non fault claim?  :huh:

Bet she was glad she was in a VW Golf  :grin:

It seems to have stood up to the impact pretty well

Reminds me of that "Tough as Old Boot" advert : -
